Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 506
Fang Guizhen had already heard from her husband about the situation with these two children and could understand their feelings.
Afraid of scaring the kids, she quickly said, "Alright, if you don’t want to stay with Auntie here, you can follow your uncle."
Then she smiled at them and said, "Next time you come over, Auntie will have the kids at home show you around and introduce you to the children in the community."
Ye Silai, being older, said, "Thank you, Auntie."
He Jinxuan exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving with his two nephews, heading towards the assigned house with the key.
The last time he came over, the house had already been allocated, but the procedures were handled with the help of Wang Baoliang.
Not long after He Jinxuan left, Wang Baoliang returned.
Fang Guizhen saw her husband come in and said, "Baoliang, Brother He has arrived."
Wang Baoliang was washing his hands in the courtyard and asked, "Where is he?"
Fang Guizhen was holding a rolling pin in her hand and replied, "He said there was a truck from the factory delivering goods here, so they brought the luggage along the way. He’ll be over after unloading the goods. He took the key to go tidy up."
Hearing this, Wang Baoliang couldn’t focus on anything else and said, "Then I’ll go over and take a look."
After saying that, he tossed the towel he was drying his hands with onto the drying rope, turned around, and headed out of the courtyard.
Fang Guizhen held up the rolling pin and called after him, "The meal will be ready soon. Why not eat before going over?"
Without turning back, Wang Baoliang just waved his hand and said, "I’ll go have a look first. You eat without me."
He Jinxuan, seeing that the house was clean inside and out, took the two kids to a state-run restaurant outside the residential compound and ordered a table of dishes, intending for them to have a meal after putting down their things.
He had everything arranged and saw the factory’s truck coming, so he quickly went ahead to lead the way.
A total of three trucks came from the factory, with two people in each, all there to help him.
The trucks could only park at the entrance of the residential compound, and while they were unloading, Wang Baoliang came over too: "Brother He, the stuff has arrived?"
He Jinxuan saw it was Wang Baoliang and said, "Yes, the factory happened to send over goods, so they brought the stuff along."
Wang Baoliang noticed there were quite a few items and, seeing some onlookers nearby, called out to some familiar faces, "Brothers, come give us a hand."
With that invitation, five or six people came forward to help. With so many hands, it didn’t take long to move everything into the house.
He Jinxuan fetched water with an enamel basin, letting everyone wash their hands, and took out a pack of cigarettes, handing one to each person who came to help: "Thank you all."
The group accepted the cigarettes with smiles and said, "We’ll be colleagues in the future. Helping out is no big deal, no need to be formal."
Seeing it was about mealtime, after Wang Baoliang introduced them, the helpers left.
He Jinxuan looked at the people from the mechanical factory and said, "Let’s go, time to eat."
They were initially hesitant, but then He Jinxuan said, "You came all this way helping to bring my stuff over. Don’t be polite with me, now you know where my home is. When you come to the capital, come visit."
Everyone responded with smiles, "You never know, maybe we’ll need to come over one day."
He Jinxuan patted the speaker on the shoulder and said, "That’s the spirit."
Then he turned to Wang Baoliang and said, "Why not let your wife know you’re coming to eat with us?"
Wang Baoliang waved his hand and said, "I’ll pass."
He Jinxuan wouldn’t take no for an answer, "Let’s find a kid to run the message."
So, he went inside, found some candies in his bag, and called out to some kids standing under a tree near the gate: "Can you help Uncle with a little something?"
The older kid asked, "What do we need to do?"
He Jinxuan pointed to Wang Baoliang and asked, "Do you know him? Do you know where his house is?"
The older child glanced at Wang Baoliang and said, "I know. He lives in Number 2, Row 7."
He Jinxuan held out the candies, "Each of you gets a piece if you help me run to his house and tell his wife he won’t be home for dinner."
The kids, thrilled, each took a piece of candy from He Jinxuan’s hand and dashed toward Row 7, "We’ll go right now."
He Jinxuan turned back to look at Wang Baoliang, "Now you can relax."
